What I found interesting about the mealwormswere that there were only six when we bought them and after a while we found hundreds. I also liked experiencing a few of the stages of a meal worms life like when the mealworms shed there skin.

I hope we see some more stages of a mealworms life in the next few weeks.

What I found interesting was that Mealworms have tiny holes on the sides of their body called spiracles, which allows them to breathe. Also that they shed their skin many times because their skin doesn’t stretch.

What I find interesting about meal worms (and other bugs) is that they can change into a beetle (or another creature) in a pupa. I think it would be fun to try going into a pupa as you and come out as someone different!

What I found interesting was that the mealworms skin doesn’t stretch and how it forms a pupa. I find the pupa’s very interesting because every other time that they shed their skin, it is very delicate, crumbly and it falls off, but when the pupa forms it is hard and it stays on the mealworms body.

What I found interesting about the mealworm life cycle is that they go through 4 life stages, egg, lava, pupa, and adult. What I find fascinating is that a female mealworm beetle can lay about 500 eggs at a time.

MEAL WORMS
An interesting fact that I learnt about meal worms was how they, from a meal worm develop into a black beetle. Another thing I learnt was that the mealworms shed their skin. There are two reasons they shed their skin:
. it isn’t as stretchy as our skin
. it helps them form the Pupa
